The Chimney - Morso S80-90 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Distance to furniture
We recommend that the stove be installed 1000 mm from furniture, but consideration should
also be given to whether furniture, etc., will dry out as a result of its proximity to the stove.
The distance to flammable material in front of the stove is 1000 mm.
A wood-burning stove gets hot when it is fired. Caution must therefore be observed, par-
ticularly with regard to children touching the stove.
The stove is equipped with a handle in stainless steel – a poor heat conductor.

1.5 the chimney

If local regulations permit, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er fireplace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of flue pipes if two or more fireplaces
are connected to the same chimney.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove
is already connected. An efficient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so have
a chimney sweep check the condition of your chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general,
the aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter) for wood-burning
stoves.
An overly large chimney aperture will mean that too much energy will be required to heat
the chimney sufficiently to achieve an acceptable draught. If you have a brick chimney with
a large aperture, we recommend that you install an insulating chimney liner of the proper
diameter. This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to specific chimney heights, but a chimney must be tall
enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause any problems.
As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends 4 metres above the
stove and at least 80 cm above the spine of the roof. If the chimney is located along the side of
the house, the top of the chimney should never be lower than the spine of the roof or the high-
est point on the roof. Please note that there are often national and local regulations regulating
the location of chimneys in houses with thatched roofs. Please see section 1.8 Draught.
The chimney and the flue pipe must be fitted with cleaning doors, which must be at least
the same size as the chimney's aperture area.
The chimney must be accessible for external inspection, and it must be possible to access
the cleaning doors and the chimney if it is to be cleaned from the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
